Description

A kind of method and device thereof for preparing expanded graphite
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of method and device thereof for preparing expanded graphite.
Background technology
Expanded graphite is as the intermediates of making soft graphite, is a kind of loose porous vermiform material that is obtained through oxidation, acidifying intercalation, washing, drying, high temperature puffing by natural flake graphite, has another name called graphite worm.Expanded graphite not only has good characteristics such as heat-resisting, anti-corrosion, the conduction, heat conduction, self-lubricating of natural graphite itself; But also have performances such as lightweight that natural graphite do not possess, softness, compressible, resilience; Therefore, expanded graphite meterial has than more excellent performance of materials such as asbestos, rubber and purposes widely.Various bands, plate, the sheet material that is pressed into expanded graphite has been widely used as the various dynamic and static sealing member of industries such as oil, chemical industry, electric power, metallurgy, machinery, aerospace, nuclear industry; For example, the flexible graphite article of processing with expanded graphite is described as the world " king of sealing " and has extremely important status in the mechanical seal field; Expanded graphite can be used as the microbe carrier that oil absorption material is used for waste oil recovery and waste water treatment in the environmental protection field; Become the heat radiating material of new generation of traditional metal materials such as replacing copper, aluminium by the graphite radiating plate of expanded graphite preparation.In addition, expanded graphite also can be used as Medical dressing, catalyzer, fixation support and solid electrolyte etc.
The raw material that is used to prepare expanded graphite in the past generally is big scale natural graphite, and granularity is because the size of granularity is influential to the quality of expanded graphite between 15 ~ 80 orders.Proved already that the formation mechanism of expanded graphite was that the intercalator in the remaining compound between graphite layers at high temperature gasifies, explosive type ground sprays from interlayer, and graphite linings is strutted becomes vermiform.Graphite particle size is big more, and the area of graphite flake is just big more, and at high temperature the power along the outside explosive type ejection of graphite layers is big more internally for remaining intercalator.This just is similar to gunpowder explosion, if behind pyrophoric ignition under the environment that opens wide, only can burn, only just can produce strong blast at the enclosed space powder burning.Along with graphite particle size reduces, if do not have very high temperature and high thermograde to make remaining intercalator instant vaporization, the ejection power of so this explosive type will reduce, and cause the expansion multiple of the expanded graphite that forms to reduce.When the raw material graphite particle size at 100 orders and when following, when adopting existing puffing furnace to produce because thermograde is not high enough, and remaining intercalator just overflows, can not the explosive type ejection, therefore no longer can strut graphite layers, also be no longer to form expanded graphite.Although the report that adopts chemical process to improve remaining intercalator explosive power is arranged, effect is unsatisfactory, and expansion multiple is lower, and cost is higher.And for the graphite Mineral resources, the flaky graphite reserves are few, and the flaky graphite resource in a lot of mines is exhausted or be bordering on exhaustion, thus also yield poorly, price is high.And ramentum graphite ore reserve is abundant, and output is big, cost is low, and therefore research prepares being significant of expanded graphite with thin crystalline flake graphite.
